No. IMHO the popumenu is wrong there. Usually, you show a popup menu as 
a response to a mouse click event, preferable on the position of the 
click. From the labels you gave, perhaps you want to use 
JCheckboxMenuItem (Swixml: checkboxmenuitem)? If you really want to use 
a popup menu, define it with swixml and use the attribute "id" to get 
access to the popup menu from your program.

How did you do that? Hint: Did you use a TableModel?
